Wizards!

On any table which has selectors, you can now click on a row and it is as if you entered the secletor. (This occurs lots of places.) So you can click-navigate your way around the ark. Is cool.

Now the new project I'm working on at Sun is EZO, which is wizard based. What's a wizard? It is a scenario where the user enters data through a series of panels, where the process is reversable and redoable (preserving previously entered data when you go back to a prior panel). Once the data is collected, an atomic transaction takes place (i.e. without further user input) to perform the specified operation. Only today I was struck by the thought that the AgileWiki needs wizards, especially when a descriptor unit is being created. OK, I'm a bit slow sometimes.

You will find the wizard library here. Now in terms of the AgileWiki, a wizard would be a subclass of Evaluator. Hmm. Lots of work.
